Hidden Motives: An Analysis of Online English as a Second Language (ESL) Teacher Hiring Practices in Japan and Hong Kong is a qualitative research paper examines and compares two large-scale Asian English language teaching programs: Japan’s Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme (JET Programme, 2010) and Hong Kong’s Native-speaking English Teacher (NET) Scheme (NET Scheme, 2013). Both government sponsored programs recruit internationally and invite participants to work within each country’s public schools while living amongst local communities and both programs utilize their online presence to attract, inform, and recruit individuals. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether the JET and NET websites are transparent with their governmental motives aside from improving their students’ English language abilities. While JET and NET websites were interrogated, the research questions were regularly revisited to determine if the two sites made any underlying motives clear to the candidates. The research, supported by academic literature, exposed the JET Programme website to be a branch of the Japanese government’s soft power campaign, whereby JET teachers were hired firstly as potential advocates for Japan and Japanese culture rather than English teachers. Conversely, the NET Scheme appeared to be solely commissioned for English language improvement as reflected by their website. Findings from the research can provide insight to applicants to help them decide if they want to participant in these programs. Without clearly understanding the background that motivates these programs, participants may unknowingly be used to support the host government’s agendas.

O objetivo desta dissertação procurou perceber como as políticas culturais do Governo Regional dos Açores, através do investimento realizado em equipamentos culturais, influenciou a democratização do acesso à cultura na região, no período entre 1976 e 2008. Com vista a esse objetivo, foram analisados os programas de governos aprovados, seguido do levantamento de dados financeiros relativos a despesa e investimento no setor cultural na região. Foram ainda recolhidos os dados existentes sobre os visitantes dos equipamentos escolhidos, mais especificamente, os museus sob a tutela da administração pública regional, o objeto para este estudo de caso. Após a organização de todos esses dados, foram analisados e construídas hipóteses de comparação entre eles, de modo a resumir a evolução e tendência desses valores. Com vista a perceber os desenvolvimentos no período analisado, procedeu-se à recolha mais completa possível de toda a legislação criada para o setor a nível regional, tornando possível analisar essa consolidação. Após a análise de todos os dados recolhidos e trabalhados, verifica-se que a promoção de medidas com vista a uma maior democratização cultural nos Açores passa por vários fatores: um forte investimento financeiro nos equipamentos em questão (como obras e apetrechamento técnico); o desenvolvimento de legislação estruturante; uma postura de descentralização cultural; contratação de pessoal especializado e formação do pessoal existente; e a criação de uma rede regional de museus. Todas essas ações demonstram o trabalho da administração regional, através da implementação de políticas culturais, com vista a uma maior democratização do acesso à cultura por parte das populações.

Technological innovation promotes the generation of economic value by creating a new product, process or organizational management model, being classified as dynamic and multidimensional. Government intervention has the role of acting through government grant programs to foster the integration of innovative processes in small companies, due to the high costs and risks of development, strengthening the country`s economy in this phase. The distribution of this grant is determined by criteria, based especially in subjective judgments, which are based on the beliefs and perceptions about the technological opportunities and market actors involved in the process, being very difficult to measure the probability of success of the project under evaluation. This study aims to identify the most relevant selection criteria that must be inserted in grants programs at Rio Grande do Norte executed by Fundação de Pesquisa do Rio Grande do Norte (FAPERN). Initially, there was a systematization of 18 countries, covering 41 programs in foreign countries and 29 in Brazil. Based on the data collected, we conducted one survey containing four programs of FAPERN (INOVA I, INOVA II , INOVA III and INOVA IV), covering 44 companies and analyzing their responses according to the Likert scale , obtaining the degree of importance given by the respondent to each of the criteria in the questionnaire . As a result, drew up a proposal for new criteria to be used in the next FAPERN´s grants, containing 13 new criteria. It is expected, therefore, to contribute to a better spending of public funds invested in companies subsidized in Brazil

A educação é o processo de inserção de homens e mulheres no mundo cultural. E a educação, dentro das sociedades mais complexas como as capitalistas industriais, é uma atividade planejada, que implica a elaboração de objetivos e a indicação de meios para atingi-los. A compreensão das tramas de construção de práticas formalizadas é ligada a agentes que determinam os objetivos da educação e suas intenções educativas sobre Relações Raciais no Brasil. Dediquei-me às atividades de levantamento acadêmico sobre a produção de teses de doutoramento, concluídas entre os anos 2005-2010, e a respeito de pesquisas e estudos sobre Educação e Relações Raciais nos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação. Investiguei sobre a circulação da temática relações raciais em espaços de elaboração de políticas educacionais, especificamente programas do Governo Federal que atendam à demanda de inclusão da temática no sistema de ensino no Brasil. Pois, a partir de 2003, a temática passa por uma fase de institucionalização, principalmente pelo conjunto jurídico que estabelece novo marco legal à educação. O objeto pesquisado incluiu a configuração de práticas formalizadas que desenvolvem quadros de agentes especializados sobre relações raciais. Analisar a relação intencional entre as práticas formalizadas sobre relações raciais que prescrevem a formulação de objetivos educacionais nos diferentes níveis e instâncias sociais. Identificar os objetivos do sistema de ensino descritos nos programas do Governo Federal destinados à promoção da educação para igualdade racial. Relacionar as práticas formalizadas no campo da pesquisa em educação às intenções descritas nos programas do Governo Federal. Explicar quais os interesses que movem essas práticas formalizadas a partir das demandas educacionais da temática relações raciais. A escrita da tese pauta-se na defesa de análise em que a obrigatoriedade da temática relações raciais é movida por duas forças antagônicas, uma direcionada à constituição de direito à cidadania movida por intenções de construir uma sociedade para a igualdade racial, de oportunidades de acesso a bens materiais e simbólicos e livre de práticas discriminatórias; outra relacionada aos interesses existentes dentro de um jogo de poder a ponto de converter a educação no centro de tão acerba disputa que desfavorece dissimuladamente a equidade racial no Brasil.

Non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners hold the largest amount of privately owned forest in the United States. Activities undertaken by NIPF owners have the potential to drastically impact the forested landscape of the United States, along with its associated biodiversity and ecological services. Many government sanctioned programs are in place to discourage the conversion of forest to other uses as well as to ensure sustainable management and a continuous supply of timber. Reaching NIPF owners with information about these programs and other management information is therefore important to the forests of the United States. This thesis presents research on how the NIPF owners of the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan communicate about forest management with neighboring NIPF owners. The data were obtained from 34 telephone interviews with owners of NIPF properties in the western Upper Peninsula. The goal of this research was to understand the way information moves through NIPF owner dominated landscapes in order to provide recommendations to policy implementers on how to best reach NIPF owners with information. Understanding where NIPF owners get information about management and landowner assistance programs is vital to ensuring a sustainably managed forest landscape in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

For over 75 years housing cooperatives have been a source of affordable housing. Currently, the 376,000 dwelling units of affordable cooperatives is equivalent to seventeen percent of the rent reduction units owned by publichousing authorities. Understanding that affordable cooperatives have been developed under varying historical circumstances provides insights on how they could play a role in the future supply of affordable housing. The history of affordable co-ops starts during the 1920s and after World War II with the ethnic, union, and New York government financed co-ops. Through the 1960s and the early 1970s cooperatives were financed by various federal direct assistance programs. Since the late 1970s co-ops have been sponsored by nonprofit organizations and by federal and municipal government privatization programs. A workable institutional structure for affordable cooperatives has developed as a result of this historical evolution.

Because fruit and vegetable intake remains low in low-income populations, the attention of public health researchers has focused on different strategies to reach this population. One possible method of reaching low income populations is through government food assistance programs like the WIC's Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP). This program provides vouchers to WIC recipients that are redeemable only at farmers' markets. In the summer of 2010, two farm stands near WIC clinics in Austin were surveyed in order to establish socio-demographic characteristics of the clientele of the markets. The overall purpose of this pilot study was to describe the clientele of the markets and to examine associations between food insecurity, acculturation, socio-demographic factors, and farmers' market participants' fruit and vegetable intake. The sample was a convenience sample of farmers' market customers. One hundred study participants completed self-administered surveys. Independent t-tests were used to explore the differences in means of fruit and vegetable intake according to acculturation and food insecurity levels. The overall mean (SD) of daily fruit and vegetable intake was 4.20±2.69 for customers of both markets. Significant differences were reported between the two markets in overall fruit and vegetable intake and specifically in the following: 100% juice (P=.023), fruit consumption (P=.028), green salad (P=.003), and salsa (P=.044). The differences showed that customers at the market in a more busy location were on average reporting eating more fruits and vegetables than customers at another market that was located in a more secluded location. When examined by level of food security, individuals who were more food secure consumed more fruit (P=.016). When examined by level of acculturation, the overall fruit and vegetable intake was not significantly different between levels of acculturation. The overall findings in this report suggest that the population at these markets consists of individuals who are food insecure and on government assistance programs. While there were no significant differences between fruit and vegetable intake, acculturation and food insecurity, this report suggests the need for culturally tailored interventions that serve the Hispanic population and would assist this population to become more food secure.^
